Who are the main characters in the video?

Dr. Quantum and the circle.

What's the difference between the worlds in which the characters live in?

The difference between the worlds in which the characters live is that Dr. Quantum lives in a three-dimensional world which has right, left, up and down while that the circle only lives in two-dimensional world which has forward, backward, left and right.

What does Dr. Quantum decide to do?

He decides to show to the Circle how the three-dimensional world is.

What does this cause to the other character?

This causes the circle becomes in a three-dimensional sphere.

III. After watching the video, please answer these questions

How many dimensions do you know? Please mention them and define them.

I know three dimensions, which are: a) Height: the vertical distance of an object. b) Width: is the distance from one side to another object. c) Length: is the measure of the long of an object.

Would you like to live in a two dimensional world? Why?

I don’t like, because I think that I would feel as I'm missing something, I think that living in the three-dimensional world is better because contains two dimensions and addition other dimension.

I agree with you
